Now I suspect many of you share my VFA fetish... Quite simply the most refined Japanese watch ever made IMO.

Rarely seen, and even more rare with a vaguely sensible starting price, with a decent description and with a nice box!

Out of my league... But check out our favourite marketplace

Surely someone needs to take this one for the team!

The watch the other members are discussing is an automatic watch, caliber 6185. Not a quartz, nor perpetual calendar. Hope this clarifies things.

Thanks!

:great: I was wondering about its appeal.

 

[jringo8769]

just a new one on me...must be very rare..never seen one anywhere including here

Not sure how to link you to another thread so have bumped "the three kings of grand seiko" post which is a pretty good roundup!

 

[jringo8769]

so it is like a King Seiko but better?

 

[funkster]

so it is like a King Seiko but better?

Yeah... Sorta!

Put it like this...

The KS is the Ford Mustang
The GS is the Ford GT production car
The VFA the the Le Mans winning GT40 race car

The GT40 is like a Mustang... but better!

Shocking, since you are a senior member and all.

 

[TheWatchBloke]

I see he's selling another box separately, minus the tongue. Probably more in my price range to be honest!

He's also sold six GS's and a GS buckle since the beginning of the year, so he obviously knows a lot about them.

 

[jringo8769]

well i have not seen everything....and that is ok...we are all here to learn....

Shocking, since you are a senior member and all.

 

[jringo8769]

Does the rotor screw look a little strange on the original auction? It looks to be smaller than I would expect but just may be the lighting. There is also some obvious markings on the other screw heads in the movement shot.

I would think that if you were going to be selling watches at this value you could invest in a slightly better camera or take some better shots in sunlight.

The watch does look to be in good condition and the initial pricing is reasonable. There seems to always be a few of these on Yahoo Japan at any time but the starting price is higher and the condition varies.

I look at the back of it and see that gouge that was done trying to open that case back

And I think what did the watchmaker who did that think after doing that ... Or what did the owner think. Then again maybe it was the owner.
Still on a watch like that...what a crime
